Subject: [PATCH] Tree view: add "Back to default person" recenter link
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Once you recenter the tree on someone, there was no quick way back to the
tree's home/default person. Add a header link (shown only when a home person
is set and you're not already on them) that recenters the chart on
home_person_id via the existing goTo() — works in landscape, portrait, and
fan modes. Labels with the home person's name for clarity.
